Dist:0.1km<br/>This was taken at the top of Pear Tree Brow (with Pear Tree Garage just on the right there). You might just be able to spot the start of Factory Lane on the right at the bottom of the hill. It was a roasting hot afternoon with not many people about, except for that poor guy making his way up the hill in all this heat!

Dist:0.2km<br/>A shot of the Pear Tree Public House, with a surprisingly empty car park. Either everyone is obeying the drink drive laws, or the place is shut for the afternoon!

Dist:0.2km<br/>Here's Pear Tree Garage, basking in the sun, with a selection of desirable motor cars for sale .... I wonder if, in 50 years' time, someone will look at this and laugh at the things we used to drive round in in 2009??!!! Just out of interest, I think the building itself was once a weaver's cottage.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Originally a water power site and was running by 1810. A large complex of 19th and 20th century buildings. The site incorporates several rows of workers housing within the complex. Now closed and apparently undergoing conversion, probably to housing.
